0xFF - 0xAA REGISTERS AND OPERATIONS STATUS
To change from Bank 0 to Bank 1 we talk
to the STATUS register. We do this by setting the RP0 and RP1 bits. In most cases we’ll be moving only between Bank 0 and Bank 1, thus we can just modify the value of the bit 5 of the STATUS register. TRISD is in BANK 1 BCF STATUS, RP1 BSF STATUS, RP0
PORTD is in BANK 0 BCF STATUS, RP1 BCF STATUS, RP0 TRISD is in BANK 1 BCF STATUS, RP1 BSF STATUS, RP0
PORTD is in BANK 0 BCF STATUS, RP1 BCF STATUS, RP0 STATUS IRP RP1 RP0 TO PD Z DC C 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

PORTD is in BANK 0 BCF STATUS, 5 BANK SELECTION BANK SELECTION BANK SELECTION W REGISTER
The W register is a general register in
which you can put any value that you wish. Once you have assigned a value to W, you can add it to another value, or move. MOVLW
The MOVLW command means ‘Move Literal
Value Into W’, which in English means put the value that follows directly into the W register.
MOVLW 0xAA MOVWF
This instruction means “Move The
Contents Of W Into The Register Address That Follows”.
MOVWF TRISB TRIS AND PORT REGISTERS TRIS
We use the TRIS Register to program a pin
to be an output or an input by simply sending a 0 or a 1 to the relevant bit in the register. MOVLW 0xFF MOVWF TRISB TRIS USE PORT TO WRITE
USE PORT TO READ PORT
To send one of our output pins high, we
simply send a ‘1’ to the corresponding bit in our PORTx register.
